Re: [GUIDE/ROOT/CWM-TOUCH] Samsung galaxy grand Duos GT-i9082

This issue is seen when rooting an OTA updated firmware.

This problem doesn't occur if one has flashed the firmware via Odin.

You can flash your stock firmware again via Odin (sorry you have to download it again to your pc).

Some users have unchecked auto-reboot in Odin, and removed the battery immediately after Odin says pass. Then reboot into recovery.

Then you immediately flash the SU binary , and Then the 'recovery fix' zip available on this thread. Reboot & enjoy permanent CWM.

After this anyway your OTA update gets disabled because your firmware is now 'Custom'. So you will always need to flash new firmware via Odin, and this issue will therefore not repeat.

Re: [GUIDE/ROOT/CWM-TOUCH] Samsung galaxy grand Duos GT-i9082

Ok i get it , so every time an ota arrives i will have to flash the whole firmware again? Which is usually around 700 mb!!!!
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] roycejp:
Re: [GUIDE/ROOT/CWM-TOUCH] Samsung galaxy grand Duos GT-i9082

Yes if your firmware is custom.

The devs are now working on prerooted custom Roms now.

So OTA updates are useless in any case, because you will lose root and additional features the custom Rom provides.

Later maybe the ROM dev will have his own OTA update feature.

There are already 2 prerooted Roms available for our device. The latest mc8 based Rom is just 407MB.

Please follow O.P instructions.

Just keep a stock Rom handy to flash in case you are claiming warranty.

Also one thing that bothers me in this fone is dat everything looks quite huge due to lower resolution,so can the dpi be changed successfully to make things appear a little smaller..?

Your sdcard mount folders are totally different from the screenshots :eek:

The swap occurs as soon you tap ' Ext > Int' no need to reboot even.

[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] roycejp:
Re: [GUIDE/ROOT/CWM-TOUCH] Samsung galaxy grand Duos GT-i9082

You can try the following:

1.

Install universal init.d. Search for uni-init within xda forums.

Inside that app, Enable init.d support.

Inside that app, verify that init.d support has indeed been enabled.

Reboot phone, and verify above again.

2.

Then open ext 2 Int'app and select 'on boot', and tap 'on boot if init.d enabled'.

ALTERNATELY or if above does not work (what I have done):

Flash the prerooted mc8 firmware available for grand. Already it has init.d support inbuilt (Pl thank the dev).

Follow O.P carefully.

Then check that ext 2 Int app settings are correct, and repeat step 2 above.

My sdcards always swap automatically at boot.

Make it Sticky

Hi Chotu!

First of all, kudos to you!

I may be speaking in behalf of all new and existing subscribers of this thread.

I found all information I need by reading through each page of this thread. However, when I need to do something again and want to make sure I do it right, I go through the pages again, trying to find which post I saw it.

My suggestion if that you make your post with the videos STICKY.

I mean, like it always go to the top of the thread, on the very first page.

Then everytime you have a new update, and a new link to a download you made, you edit the post and put it there.

It will be like the ultimate post of the thread to avoid having to read through every page to find the information.

This is what it's like in the thread of the China phone Star N8000. I used to have it before I decided to buy a branded one.

That post in the thread is like a life and time saver for everyone with that phone. I hope it makes sense to you.
